ANN ARBOR -- Michigan's run to the Big Ten regular season title and through two NCAA tournament games has netted coach John Beilein an extra $125,000 in contract bonuses.

The potential exists for the seventh-year head coach to earn another $100,000 if the second-seeded Wolverines roll to a national championship.

Included in a contract paying $2.45 million annually, Beilein earned $50,000 for U-M's outright Big Ten regular season title, $25,000 for making the NCAA tournament and $25,000 apiece for wins over Wofford and Texas.

While he doesn't earn an additional bonus for reaching the Final Four or winning a national title, Beilein can continue to earn an additional $25,000 for every tournament win moving forward.

UT coach Cuonzo Martin, who has two years remaining on a contract worth $1.3 million annually, earned a $50,000 bonus for the Vols making the tournament and an additional $25,000 for reaching the Sweet 16, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel.
